CORRUPTING POWER OF WEALTH.
How 1t is Used to Hush Scandal and
Shield Crime.

OhAVAV snhCs
Daily orego miami
The power and influence Of money
in hushing up scandal is finely illus
trated in the Kissane case in Califor-
MIA. No incident could be imagined
better suited to the sensational temper
of the San Francisco press, and yet
since the first publication the news
papers have been dumb. The Sacra.
mento Bee, of all the papers in the
State, is the only one which is follow
ing the matter up in a natural way.
Kissane, or VIM. King Rodgers, as he
is known in California, is allied by
marriage to Haggin, who is friend
and partner of Hearst, the proprietor
of the Examiner-hence the silence
of that journal. Reuben Lloyd, the
well-known lawyer of San Francisco,
and now known to be Kissane's
brother, is the friend and legal ad-
wiser of Mike de Young-hence the
silence of the Chronicle. Some sort
of scandal in the career of Mr.. Pick
ering, of the Call and the Bulletin, is
said to explain why these journals
"shut up" The Alta and the Sacra.
mento Record Union were easily
silenced by the "railroad crowd" with
; which Kissane is connected.

cisco there were certain books con tain.

DEATH OF MAYOR A. 3,
WEBSTER

A. B. Webster. Mayor of Dodge City,
died at the residence of his niece, Mrs.
NJ W. Sutton, at half past four
o'clock, on Tuesday morning. after q
painful illness, of rheumatism Mr..
Webster was in poor health for some
months past, and for years has been af-
flicted with rheumatism. He was in i'm
proved health few weeks ago, having
returned from Chicago couple of weeks
preceding the election, at which time he
was reelected Mayor of the city His old
time disease returned to him about two
weeks ago, and under this attack he suf-
fered severely and was unable to rally
from the dread malady.
The deceased was born in Pembroke,
n. Y, and was about 45 years of age at
the time of his death.
Mr.. Webster came to Dodge City in the
early settlement of the city, and was al
ways foremost in the city's enterprises
He was man of indomitable will and
great energy Fad he lived he would
have executed more public enterprises for
Dodge City. His death is sincerely re-
GREETED by all classes of citizens. Mr.
Webster was man of warm impulses,
true to his friends, but All implacable foe.
He was generous to fault, and has per-
formed many kindly offices. He posses
sed many good traits of character, and
we know of many kind and charitable
acts performed by him.
Dodge City may sincerely regret the
death Of an officer who was willing to
sacrifice his time for the welfare of the |
city. A. 3. Webster was possessed with |
a power Of public spirit and enterprise not |
to every one.
But death is no respector Of persons, |
and humanity must succomb to the in
evitable The death, however, of MI.
Webster, is an unfortunate occurrence at
his time
The funeral will take place on
Friday at 4, D. H., after the arrival of

LEGE
To be Located at Dodge City.

At the meeting of the Larned Presby-
terry, at Medicine Lodge last week, apro-

Presbytery. The proposition includes a

and lots and lands with which to use to
procure means for building the edifice,
which is to cost not less than $50, 900. The

A FEW FACTS
That are Well Substantiated.

A correspondent of the New York Ex-
press tells some Of the benefits of Kansas
in tho following terse style:
Twill say In the fewest words at my
command that each trip settles more fully
in my mind that the state of Kansas is but
partially known to the people of older
states. Again, to become fully known
would cause such rush in the state as
vas never known in any country. The
hsalth-giving qualities of this climate,
it, long summers and delightful fall and
spring arc unsurpassed. Few men are
awaro that one man can do more work on
. farm during the year towards bringing
forth products of the soil in Kansas than
two can in any Of tho eastern states or
northern states. 1t needs no argument
to demonstrate this problem, for here it is
crowded into five months under the most
favorable circumstances in which to SOW,
NOW and harvest, admitting of no loung-
ing or wasting of time, either. 1t is work
early and late. and then winter and snow
and much work undone. Winter comes
10 stay until the warm May sun drives it
away; Will in Kansas the time of pro-
ducing il from March to October, and for
gathering from juno to the following
March. To secure an abundant crop the
winter season offers but slight resistance
to this important part of husbandry.
Then, again, the roads in Kansas are
nearly all alike the seasons through. AT
any time after the gathering during fall
and winter marketing can be done with
no more inconvenience than in midsum-
NOR. Thus one man in Kansas has ten
months favorable weather to mature and
secure his crops and two months, jan
uary and February, to be idle and visit
his friends and recuperate and be ready
for spring work. This is no fancy pic
ture. They are facts well known in Kan

THE,MURRAY LAW.
1t Does mot Clear tho Way to
Unrestricted Sale Of LiauOr.

Unrestricted Sale Of Liauor.
There has been considerable talk
lately to the effect that tho Murray
temperance bill repealed all other laws
prohibiting the sale Of liquor, and that
as it applies only TO drug stores there
is nothing on tho statutes 70 prevent
the sale Of liquor BY saloon keepers.
Of course any sensible person Who
would stop and stop and think for .
moment would know that this 10 oil
''bosh.'' The Murray law does not
affect the general prohibition Law At al
except as to druggists and manufaotu-
rers and purchasers therefrom. Il does
not annul or repeal original section ! Of
the act Of 1881, nor sections Z and 8
thereof, as amended BY sections 4 and 5
of the act Of 1885, which sections de-
clare and define the offense and prescribe
the penalty, that il to say, section one
declares the manufacture or sale intox-
icating liquors to bc . misdeamor except
for the purpose therein named and under
the regulation and restriction provided
in said act, while sections seven and
eight as amended, a. foresaid, prescribe
the penalty for unlawful sale OF man
ufacture. The Murray law merely per-
scribes new regulations, and penalties,
for druggists, and manufacturers; and
persons purchasing therefrom and docs
not, as it seems is supposed BY some,
clear the way for the unrestricted sale
of intoxicants.

THE IMPETUS GIVEN

enterprises will lead to a correct and full

not exerting our energies and running
down rumors with view of facilitating
BOOM but we are giving such informa-
ton as we are enabled to CLEAN from the
most trustworthy sources,
The rumor is current that the Wichita
and Western Railroad will be built to
Dodge City within 60 days. 1t is known
as positive fact, that graders are at
work on this road about 60 miles east of
Dodge City.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
is going to make some extensive improve
ments in Dodge City. 1t has been plan
ned for months past that a round house
and machine shops would be built in
Dodge City. The order has been made
for the work, and no doubt ere these
lines reaches our readers work will have
commenced. 1t has long been contem-
plated by the Santa Fe road to make
Dodge City an important point on its line
We believe the company are now ready
to carry out their designs.
An eating house is to be built on the
site formerly occupied by the old gov
eminent warehouse recently removed.
Ten new switches are to be built within
the vicinity of the stock yards, and the
switch tracks within the city limits are to
be removed The freight depot buildings
will be removed farther east of their
present locations, to point near where
the section house now stands. And all of
this and more we hear, and as the work
progresses we shall keep our readers duly
advised.

sought shelter in the valleys beneath
tho velvet foliage Of many varieties Of
forest trees. No one can view with
wondermsnt the pancing in the broad
sunlight of countless thousands of
flowers representing nearly every color

and still more magnificent sight when
viewed beneath the moonlit stars, those

IT WILL RAIN.

There is some apprehension about rain.
1t will rain. Never fear. Thirteen hun
dred feet above sea level is too high for
the usual April shower Of sea level. We
never had them. Warm, hot days are
what cooks up rains at this altitude. In
seventy-four, the grasshopper and drouth
year, there was plenty Of water in April.
The latter part Of this month and May
and June will bring all the rain desired
and may be too much.-Wichita Eagle.
1t does rain, and Saturdays rain ought
to satisfy the most incredulous.
